Can someone please help!!! These equations are confusing me so.
x^2-98=0
x^2 - 98 = 0
x^2 = 98
x^ = 98/2
x^ = 49
x = _____
If you post your answer, we'll be glad to check it.
7
To solve the equation x^2 - 98 = 0, we need to isolate x.
First, add 98 to both sides of the equation:
x^2 = 98
Next, take the square root of both sides to find the value of x:
x = √98
Simplifying the square root of 98, we get:
x = √(49 * 2)
Breaking down the square root into two separate square roots:
x = √49 * √2
Since the square root of 49 is 7:
x = 7 * √2
So, x is equal to 7 multiplied by the square root of 2.
